What's a "red flag" in a TV show that tells you it's about to go downhill? (sopuli.xyz)

Clip Show! Nothing says "We're out of ideas" like a rehash of the currently available greatest hits.

Community had clips from "previous episodes" that never existed in their bottle episode.

Most of the time I hate clip shows, but that time was okay.

Community was great at simultaneously lampshading, satirizing, and paying homage all at the same time. Abed was the perfect vehicle for that sort of meta-self-referential nihilism. Plus the entire cast was lightning in a bottle.

Except for Pierce.

He was semen in several bottles.

Clip shows are usually about “we didn’t adequately budget and need to make an episode using only one set and one day of shooting.”
